"Split <direction>" option currently provides no real functionality for directories

[jarle]

Description

When right clicking a directory in tree-view, and selecting Split <direction>, an empty pane is opened.

Steps to Reproduce

Right click a directory in tree-view and select any of the "split"-options. The dispatched handler will be the atom-core binding which create a new pane inside tree-view.

Expected behavior:

Two variants:

1. (Either) I don't expect these options (split on directory context menu)
2. (Or) I expect all files in the directory to be opened in separate tabs in the direction of the split.

Actual behavior:
Atom opens an empty pane inside tree-view, making the options superfluous.

Because we treat our issues list as the Atom team's backlog, we close duplicates to focus our work and not have to touch the same chunk of code for the same reason multiple times. This is also why we may mark something as duplicate that isn't an exact duplicate but is closely related.
